Authorities searching for missing Mount Hood teen

The Hood River County Sheriff's Office is looking for a local teen who has been missing for over a week.

ELIJAH LEE, 14, has been missing from his Mount Hood home since Monday, Sept. 16. Pete Hughes, public information officer for the Hood River County Sheriff's Office, reported Lee ran away from home, possibly due to a family conflict. Hughes said the office "was involved with him and his family before the runaway was reported."

Lee is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches in height, weighing 120 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, and has gauged ears.
